Curtin University
About
This major/stream is part of a larger course. Information is specific to the major/stream, please refer to the course for more information.
The Finance and Investment Stream provides students with an ability to develop predictive models for purposes of formulating appropriate investment strategies. The Stream focuses on the nexus between data analytics, economic modelling and the operations of financial markets. While the emergence of "big data" means great amount of information are available to investors and regulators, the extraction of these information from such large scale data requires seamless integration of computer programming, statistics, econometrics and thorough understanding on the operations of our economies and financial markets. This course is designed to fill this gap by providing students with a broad scope of skills covering these diverse areas in an integrated manner.
